We're looking for an alternative to fiber-channel disk arrays for mass storage. One of the ideas that we're exploring would involve having the cluster on an NFS mounted filesystem. Another technology we're looking at is the Linux NBD (Network Block Device).
No idea about NBDs, but its generally accepted that running over NFS would significantly
decrease reliability and performance, i.e. it would be a Bad Move (tm). Not sure what you
think to gain. I sure wouldn't trust NFS with a production database.
What exactly are you trying to gain, avoid, or do?
Has anyone had any experience with running postgres over either of these
technologies? What issues do we need to know about / pay attention to?
